  1. I had experiance of this on the way to Silverstone when the track car was road legal. Went up the night before, ended up in torrential rain for the last 20 miles, I wish I got some footage of me trying to keep the car in a straight line going 40, I have never been so Knackered from driving. I think I aged 10 years on that one night,
  2. Will be some more updates on the way, the car is going in on Monday to get its new look, should have it back by friday. Then loads more work to do (the list never ends) lol
  3. Yep designed to lower the center of gravity by lowering the engine and gearbox in the car and moving the engine back to make it 50/50 weight distribution. As much as I would love to take credit for the work it was done my Ryan G when he had the car
  4. Installed the new oil breather system today and started smoothing the front bumper ready for the new livery https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/12316545_1661348197478306_270655283672389052_n.jpg?oh=62b06fa9c70047a04ea37773b4366901&oe=56E3F615
  5. Great so far, although I havent run it properly out yet I am still working on some of the electronics and sorting the shift logic on the Geartronics kit and getting that working properly before I driver her in anger.
  6. So just sorting the bodywork out today, a few dings and paint issues to sort before it goes with its new livery. https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xta1/t31.0-8/s2048x2048/12339635_1660962827516843_6710234801867678368_o.jpg
  7. Can you just do single colour?
  8. If she was in my bed I wouldnt even bother with a Supra..
  9. I installed one of these on my track Supra.. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/rally-accessories/storm-wash-wipe-system-wiper-arm-mounted-washer-jets The best thing I have ever done in terms of window washers.
  10. If you decide to take the head off.. its the more expensive option anyway but the better one IMO, if you decide to do that, do the other things the others have listed but get the head skimmed to make sure its 100% flat and get the head flowed as well, upon checking the valve seats replace if needed. Use high quality head gaskets (no cheapo ebay jobbies) and head hardware such as ARP etc. The last thing you would want to do it build it back up only to find it needs to come apart again which will cost you more time and money. Remember the car will only be as reliable as the lowest quality part, so buy the best you can afford.
  11. I run Kodi on a Rasberry Pi2 with a Datho VPN connection on my TV, the nice thing is that if you have a supported HDMI cable and a Smartlink TV you can control it all from the standard remote. There is also an app you can use which you can control Kodi if you dont have a Smartlink TV. We hardly watch "normal" tv anymore, we can watch what we want when we want and most of the time in HD quality as well (some older shows are not HD). We have pretty much the same add ons as Scott. Its just a shame that Kodi 15 (Isengard) does not have Datho VPN app built in and will not work, hence why I still use Kodi 14.2
  12. I got a bit of buying advice... dont buy any car from High Wycombe no matter who it is. It seems to be the hub of crap - probably why there are loads of toilet rolls in the picture...
  13. I'm suprised that people need to ask that question A bit of flame on over run is good, 10ft flames coming out of the back from a flamer kit just looks pitifully awful
  14. May look good on a drift car but thats about it.. street car.. nah.
  15. I would say yes relationships are worth it, once you get the right one, I have been with my missus now for getting on for 11 years and married for 8 of that, however even then its not that easy.. but the pros outweigh the cons. Beforehand I had relationships and experiences which almost mimic exactly what you are going through. However, its these bad relationships which also help mold you into a different person, how to look at things differently, how to act differently in a situation, I know for sure that If i didn't have bad relationships in the past where I learnt valuable lessons on how to treat and be treated my relationship now would probably not be existent. It sounds like you are quite young, experience is earned over tine and you have to look at it that way otherwise you will shrink back. Keep moving forward, yeah it feels really bad when you see things like that. I walked in on one of my ex GF with another guy who didn't know I was her current BF, it turns out she had two phones one for me and one for him. Looking back I should have seen the signs of which I wont go into now but if you have no experience of that then its hard to spot. The most important thing is once a relationship is over even if its "friends" (After a relationship friends hardly ever works as one person will always want more than the other) don't look back or see how they are doing, once girls are done with a guy they will have nothing good to say as the majority are too weak to admit that they were part of the problem, its easier to blame it on the guy and make themselves look like they were the victim. Its why guys get such a bad wrap all the time... For the meantime, forget her, get involved in the car, surround yourself with mates, go to meets it will get easier to handle over time.
  16. I am looking to get into doing a bit of Airsoft as we have some areas round here to do it. I have been quite involved in Paintball for the last few years but I like the idea of doing more indoor close combat type scenarios. The only thing is I like it to be a little more realistic I am only looking at Gas blow back recoil based weapons. I have my eye on a WE M4 RIS CQB GBBR with the Angry gun Super Recoil kit for it but wanted to know if anyone else has any experiance/advice as this is something new for me.
  17. They got the car wrong, they said Nissan GTR although thats an Audi Dash.
  18. Im not really a fast food person, but out of the ones I have now and then (Mcdonalds, Burger king and Costa) Mcdonalds is the worst hands down. Burgers need to be cooked over flame, not on a hot plate. The meat patties are always springy and have a nasty iron like aftertaste, the burgers are always limp badly put together and squashed. The Fries are soggy and very salty, their coffee resembels that of hot muddy water, the soft drinks are watered down and have so much ice put in them you dont actually get any of the taste. The cheese they use must be the cheapest imitation cheese money can buy, it doesnt even taste like cheese. The only thing I "like" from Mcdonalds is their sausage and egg bap thing, even so that leaves a nasty iron like taste in your mouth as well afterwards. Their staff are mostly rude and usually riddled with infections, when you speak to the manager when something goes wrong (stone cold patty in this case) all you get is a 20 year odd mouthy little brat who thinks he is better than anyone else and will do anything other than give you your money back. No matter how many times he tells me that they will make you another one will it make any difference you little twot. I want my money back so I can go and get a sandwich or something from somewhere else that isnt riddled in campylobacter !!
  19. Indeed it is, I will get some more pics today of it. The Girl is gonna look bare after today
